I can only find business leases around the £900 level for the ipace, who are offering them at £350, may just jump now at that rate.

I had a remap/rolling road from Celtic Tuning, from memory it came out at 347bhp and 312lb/ft, seems to keep up with most things. Never had any issue and has been MB serviced twice since it was done.

This enormous threat of information will help you C350e owners club If you have the PP package, you have the hands free boot.

Its telling you to lift and coast

I turned up at my online booked service appointment today, armed with the booking ref. Sorry sir we have no record of a booking, despite the £572 paid on the 9th May. Now rebooked on the 20th June. Mercedes customer services scratching their heads trying to find out why the system glitch. Morale...

My 35 mile commute each way can be 98mpg or 27mpg depending on engagement of sports +

A lovely police motorcyclist motioned for me to slow down in Somerset on Saturday. A quick wave to acknowledge my over enthusiastic right foot and thanks and we both carried on our way.

I find gearbox is the cars weak point, it's easily confused, but then the car is a complicated mix of mechanicals so not surprising it has an odd foible.

Mine has not but the other Directors car has. We swapped cars for a week, he didn't smell petrol in mine and I had a faint whiff in his. His was also in 3 times before Mercedes changed the fuel pipes (apparently) he hasn't moaned again.

Not sure how it "sorts them" as video is as open to interpretation as verbal statements. Take the dash cam footage linked here, it's heading is "car forces way into lane", what I see is a driver choosing not to give way to someone indicating his wish to change lanes, why that extra 10ft was...

The point of dashcams is lost on me entirely.

ME works flawlessly and Merc updates at service gave me the outside temp. Didn't ask for it and not something i have ever used and can't see that I ever will. Wind down the window, it tells you if it's cold outside........

Spot on, I will look to change in early 2021 unless subsequent budgets change this view. Would love to think there may be a Uk owned/manufactured car that fits the bill by then.
